JOURNAL 

OF 

CAPTAIN CHARLES LEWIS 

October ro — December io, 1755.^ 



October loth, 7755 — Left Fredericksburg under the command 

^ The original of the "Journal " is in the possession of Thomas War- 
ing Lewis, Esq., of "Mansfield," Essex county, Virginia, who thus 
states his descent from its writer, Captain (subsequently known as Col- 
onel) Charles Lewis : " I am a great-grandson of Colonel Charles Lewis, 
of ' Cedar Creek,' Caroline county, Virginia, who was the brother of 
Colonel Fielding Lewis, of Fredericksburg, and the son of John Lewis, 
of ' Warner Hall,' Gloucester county, and of Frances nee Fielding, and 
who was a grandson of John Lewis and Elizabeth, his wife, a daughter 
of the Hon. Augustine Warner, of Gloucester county, who was a Mem- 
ber of the Council and Speaker of the House of Burgesses. His 
daughter, Mildred W^arner, was the wife of Lawrence Washington, and 
General George Washington was thus the cousin of Fielding, Colonel 
Charles, and Warner Lewis, of ' Warner Hall.' Colonel Charles Lewis 
was a vestryman of St Mary's parish, a justice of the peace, and a Bur- 
gess for Caroline county. He was with Washington at Braddock's 
defeat. He died just before 'the glorious Revolution of 1776.' " 

A copy of the original was kindly made for the editor in April, 1891, 
by Mr. William L. Lewis, a son of its present owner. The original com- 
mander of the Virginia forces in the expedition against the French in 
1754 was Colonel Joshua Fry, who, dying May 31st, whilst conducting 
it to the Ohio river, was succeeded in the command by the Lieutenant- 
Colonel George Washington. 

A special value of the paper is in the list given of the officers of the 
Virginia regiment, for which there has been repeated inquiry by histor- 
ical students. If in print, the publication containing it seems not to be 
known.

October nth — This day I was ordered to march before the 
company to one Martin Hardin's, to provide provisions. I shot 
a bullock and provided a plenty of bread in the evening. The 
company came up in high spirits. Here we had good enter- 
tainment, a merry landlady and daughter. Expenses, 6^s. 
Eighteen miles.

expedition of Major Grant in 1758, was made prisoner and taken to 
Montreal. In the same year he was a commissioner to treat with the 
Six Nations at Fort Stanwix ; made a brigadier-general in 1774, and 
commanded tiie Virginia troops at the battle of Point Pleasant, Octo- 
ber loth, gaining a victory over the most formidable Indian force which 
ever opposed the whites in Virginia; a representative of Botetourt 
county in the Virginia Assembly, and a member of the Conventions of 
March and June, 1775; commissioned colonel and promoted brigadier- 
general, but declined April 5, 1777. He drove Lord Dunmore from 
Gwynn's Island, and was on duty in the lower part of the State, where 
he contracted a fever of which he died September 25, 1781, at the resi- 
dence of Captain Talbott, in Bedford county, and was interred on 
Thursday following, the 27th instant, " beside his younger brother, 
Charles," in the burial-ground on his farm, " Dropmore," on Roanoke 
river near Salem, Roanoke county. 

Samuel, Thomas, and Charles, brothers of General Andrew Lewis, 
were severally distinguished in the annals of Virginia, and have been 
worthily represented in succeeding generations.

defeat of Braddock.

command of the men. Took on the march a deserter and a 
drunken school-master. Arrived in the evening at Nevils.* 
Bread very scarce. Lieutenant Lowry sent out to purchase 
meal and potatoes. We made a good shift. Eighteen miles. 

October ijth — Marched from Nevil's, and crossed the Ridge 
at Ashby's Gap. I was this day sent forward to provide for the 
men. Provision plenty. This day's march was very tedious, 
being cold and rainy, and the men very ill-clothed. They came 
up with me about 8 o'clock at night very much fatigued, having 
marched this day twenty-five miles. 

October 14th — This day we marched cheerfully, having but 
eighteen miles to Winchester. We arrived about 3 o'clock, and 
joined the Hon'ble George Washington, Commander of the 
Virginia Regiment, and Captain George Mercer, A. D. C. , with 
other officers and about forty men. Eighteen miles.

battle between two of our servants. 

October 20th — We left Winchester under the command oi 
Major Andrew Lewis, and marched ten miles to Captain 
Smith's, a very remarkable man. I was this day appointed cap- 
tain over forty-one men of different companies. A remarkable 
dispute between Lieutenant Steenberger and an Irish woman. 
Ten miles.

October 21st — Marched from Captain Smith's, and crossed 
great Cape Capon. A beautiful prospect, and the best land I 
ever yet saw. We encamped this night on the top of a moun- 
tain. The roads were by far the worst this day, and our march 
was for that reason but thirteen miles. Our men, nevertheless, 
were in high spirits. About 8 o'clock this night a soldier's 
musket went off in the middle of our encampment without any 
damage. I think I saw this day some of the most delightful 
prospects I ever did. Thirteen miles. 

October 22d — This day we marched from Sandy Top Moun- 
tain to little Cape Capon. The land very good. We encamped 
this night at a poor man's house, entirely forsaken, and the 
people driven off by the Indians. We found here a plenty of 
corn, oats, and stock of all kinds ; even the goods and furniture 
of the house were left behind. This night about 9 o'clock we 
were joined by the Hon'ble Colonel George Washington and 
Captain George Mercer, A. D, C. Fifteen miles. 

October 2jd — Very bad weather ; snow and rain. We 
marched very slow to-day, and arrived at the South Branch, 
where we encamped at a house on the branch, having come up 
with Colonel George Washington and Captain Mercer, A. D. C. 
Nine miles. Very ill-natured people here. 

October 24th — A very wet day. We marched to Patterson's 
Creek, on which we encamped, in a house deserted. We found 
here good corn, wheat, and pasturage. Before we marched we 
discharged our pieces, being wet, and charged them, in expecta- 
tion of seeing the enemy. Colonel Washington marched before 
with Captain Ashby's company of Rangers. Fourteen miles. 

October 2§th — Marched from Patterson's Creek. Passed 
many deserled houses. I was this day very curious in the ex- 
amination of the mischief done in the houses, and was much 
shocked at the havoc made by the barbarous, cruel Indians at 
one Mecraggin's. I found the master of the family, who had 
been buried but slightly by his friends after his assassination, 
half out of the grave, and eaten by the wolves ; the house burnt, 
the corn-field laid waste, and an entire ruin made. At half-past 
6 we arrived at Fort Cumberland, cold and hungry. We had 
this day, by Major Lewis's order, two women ducked for rob- 
bing the deserted houses. Twenty miles.

167 " Fort Cumberland. 

October 26ih — This day Lieutenant Walter Stewart ^ showed 
me the fort. 

'Tis a Quad'' fort, with four Bast"' ; about one hundred feet in 
the square ; has eleven four pounders and two smaller, mounted. 
'Tis situated on the north side of the Potomack, in ?vlaryland, 
on a hill ; very pleasant : more so, I think, than advantageous ; 
has a romantick prospect from the mountains, and is very healthy. 
I was this day ordered to return to Fredericksburg, but my 
horses being tired, I was excused. 

October 27th, 28th, 2Qth, joth — Nothing remarkable. 

October jist — An Irishman arrived at the fort with two 
scalps. It seems he was the Sunday before taken prisoner \jy a 
party of fifty-two Indians, and being left in custody" of two while 
the party proceeded towards the inhabitants, he with his guard 
arrived at the Shenandoah camp, and encamped in a house de- 
serted. About II o'clock he was ordered to make up the fire, 
but denying to do so, was threatened the tomahawk ; but acci- 
dentally casting his eyes on an axe in the house very convenient 
to him, he, with it, beat out the brains of the Indian next to him, 
and with his gun, shot the other through the body. Having 
scalped them, he made the best of his way to Fort Cumberland 
with their scalps, guns and horses, &c. 

I bought one of the guns for fifty shillings, Maryland cur- 
rency, being a French piece, very handsome and equally good. 
This same day a party of volunteers was detached, consisting of 
one hundred men, rank and file and officers. 

The Indians having discovered their designs, * * * 

'Tis not doubted the party will cut them off". 

November i, 2, j — Nothing remarkable. 

* Lieutenant Walter Stewart was voted by the Virginia Assembly, 
August, 1755, thanks and a gratuity of ^30, for his gallant conduct in 
the action on the Monongahela. He was wounded at the defeat of 
Braddock. 



210 VIRGINIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

November 4th — The volunteers returned without success, the 
Indians being supposed to be returned. 

Nove77iber ijth — Colonel Stevens ® arrived this day-evening 
with about one hundred recruits, with their proper officers — 
Captain Robert Spotswood,' Captain William Peachy,® Lieu- 
tenant John Hall, Lieutenant King, and two volunteers. 

November 14, 75, 16, jy, 18, ig — Nothing remarkable. 

Novem.ber 20th — Ensign Bacon arrived at the fort from Patter- 
son's Creek, where he had been to erect a fort. On his way he 
heard the Indian Hallow, and saw many tracks of Indians in the 
woods. This alarmed the fort, but being late 'twas not possible 
to send out a party; but orders were given for a hundred men 
to parade in the morning under Captain Waggoner. 

November 21st — A very bad morning, wet and continuing to 
rain. A party of one hundred men paraded under Captain 
Waggoner,' to search for the Indians on Patterson's Creek, 
according to Ensign Bacon's information of the day before. 
Major Andrew Lewis and myself went as volunteers on this 
command. We returned the same day with the party. No 
Indians or tracks of Indians to be seen. 

November 22d — A very cold day and windy. 

November 2j, 24, 23 — Nothing remarkable. 

November 26th — I went out this day in company with Major 



8 Lieutenant-Colonel Adam Stephen — Ed. 

'The younger son of Governor Alexander Spotswood. He is sup- 
posed to have been slain by the Indians near Fort Duquesne in 1757 — 
Ed. 

^Subsequently promoted to Major of the Second Virginia Regiment, 
Colonel William Byrd, and was in the campaign under Forbes in 1758 — 
Ed. 

^Thomas Waggener was at the defeat and death of Jamonville, 
May 28, 1754, and was slightly wounded. He had previously served 
under Governor William Shirley of Massachusetts, in the projected 
Canada expedition of 1746. He received the thanks of the House of 
Burgesses for his gallantry at Fort Necessity. Others of the name also 
served during this period. Ensign Edward Waggener was killed at 
the defeat of Braddock, and Captain Andrew Waggener received 
lands under the proclamation of Governor Dinwiddle of 1754 — Ed.

James Livingston, Lieutenant Stark, one sergeant, a corporal 
and three privates to Nicholas' Fort on a party of pleasure. 
'Tis about five miles from Fort Cumberland, well built, with 
four bastions. About i o'clock we left this fort and marched 
one mile below, where we crossed the Potomack river in a canoe. 
I went on the south side of the river into a house, where was a 
weaver's loom, and a small quantity of shavings of a wood the 
people in these parts dye with. Some distance from this house 
we found in the Indian path about two pounds of swan shot, 
supposed by our guide to be dropped there by the Indians in 
some hurry when they massacred the inhabitants about these 
plantations. We crossed a small mountain not far from this, on 
whose top you might drop a stone four hundred feet into'the 
Potomack river. We passed another mountain something higher; 
had much the same prospect, a fine landscape. From the top 
of this mountain you might drop a stone above five hundred 
feet perpendicular into the Potomack river. We found here an 
Indian cap made of bear skin, and then we proceeded on our 
march to the new store, built by the Ohio Company, from whence 
we crossed the Potomack river, and before night got into Fort 
Cumberland. This march fatigued me very much, being above 
fifteen miles, and a great part of it over the mountains. 
November 27 th — A very fine warm day.

November ^olh — This day a man unfortunately falling down 
the bank of Potomack, opposite to ye Fort, his gun fired and 
shot a soldier thro' the leg, who was crossing the river in a canoe. 

December 2nd — Captain Spotswood and self went volunteers 
with a party, commanded by Ensign Walter Lowrie, to gather 
corn from the deserted fields. We arrived about 2 o'clock at a 
plantation of one Cussips, most delightfully situated on land that 
gave me great pleasure. 'Twas a piece of low ground entirely 
surrounded by the mountains, the prospects very romantic ; 
high rocks on the sides of the mountains, some hundred feet 
perpendicular to the River Potomack. Here we lodged this 
night in a comfortable house. 

December jd — This morning we took our guns, and after 
directing our men (in number thirty) to gather the corn, we took 

^HVilliatn Fleming migrated to Virginia in early manhood. He is 
said to have been of noble lineage. He was a physician, and with the 
rank of lieutenant subsequently acted as surgeon. He served in the 
Sandy Creek Expedition of 1756. He was one of the first justices of 
the peace for Botetourt county in 1769. In 1774 he raised a regiment 
which he commanded at the battle of Point Pleasant. He was long a 
member of the Virginia Assembly, and in June, 17S1, as the only mem- 
ber of the Council at Richmond, the remaining members with Gover- 
nor Jefferson and the Legislature having fled before the invading traitor 
Arnold, he was for a time the acting Governor of Virginia. His acts 
were subsequently legalized by the Assembly. He married a daugh- 
ter of Israel Christian, and one of his daughters was the wife of Rev. 
George A. Baxter, D. D.

dififerent courses to hunt for deer and such game as the place 
afforded. This evening Captain Spotswood went with a soldier 
to the plantation of one Williams, where the houses were burnt 
by the savages. The body of a woman layed near one of the 
houses, her head being scalped, and also a small boy and a young 
man. This horrid scene gave us a terrible shock, but I hope, 
with the leave of God, we shall still overcome the cruel, bar- 
barous, and inhuman enemy. 

December ^Ik — This morning we intended to hunt again, but 
soon after day we heard three distinct guns under the Alleghany 
mountains, wherefore we were particularly cautious not to ven- 
ture too far to hunt, lest we should be outwitted by our ever 
cautious enemy. 

December ^th — This morning we marched for Fort Cumber- 
land, and met about five miles from Cussips a relief, commanded 
by Lieutenant Lynn, of twelve men. We accepted of his relief, 
and gave up our command to Mr. Lynn, according to order. 

December 6th — Five deserters were this day punished, each 
receiving one thousand lashes. In this last command I may, 
with the greatest truth, aver that I saw the most horrid, shock- 
ing sight I ever yet beheld. At a house adjoining to the corn- 
field, in which our soldiers were employed in gathering corn, we 
saw the bodies of three different people who were first massacred, 
then scalped, and after thrown into a fire. These bodies were 
not yet quite consumed, but the flesh on many parts of them. 
We saw the clothes of these people yet bloody, and the stakes, 
the instruments of their death, still bloody and their brains stick- 
ing on them, the orchards cut down, the mills destroyed, and a 
wast of all manner of household goods. These people were, in 
my opinion, very industrious, having the best corn I ever saw, 
and their plantations well calculated for produce and every other 
conveniency, suitable to the station of a farmer. 

December 24.111 — Being Christmas, we were invited to spend 
the evening with Colonel Stephen, where we spent the time in 
drinking loyal healths and dancing 'till 1 1 o'clock, and then parted 
in the most amicable manner. 

December 2Sth — Were invited to dine with Colonel Stephens, 
where we had the most sumptuous entertainment. After dinner 
drank the Royal Healths and sung some entertaining songs with 



216 VIRGINIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

3 Huzzas and rolls of Drums to every health and song. Then 
took partners and spent the evening in dancing, about 12 o'clock 
broke up well pleased with our generous entertainment. 

December 26th — Sociably spent. 

December 27th — I was ordered to march with one lieutenant, 
one sergeant, one corporal and twenty men to take the command of 
Ashby's Fort ; arrived about 5 o'clock, met Captain Ashby near 
the barracks, inquired his number of men and desired to see his 
list. He informed me he did not know the number, and that his 
lieutenant had the list and was absent. I ordered the drum to 
beat to arms, when with much difficulty we got together twenty- 
one men. I appointed Lieutenant John Bacon adjutant, had the 
articles of war read to the men, and let them know I was to 
command them. Mr. Bacon made a most affectionate speech to 
them and then discharged them for this night. They seemed to 
be mutinous, but were soon convinced after reading orders from 
Colonel Adam Stephen that I was their commander. I gave 
orders for a parade.
